About the National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA)
The NCHA features two great athletes: One horse and one rider must act as one unit to form a symbolic competition team. They are equals in the competition, anticipating the other’s actions, which is accomplished by intensive training during which both the horse and the rider learn to move in tandem. It truly is a sport that demands both physical and mental prowess in both athletes.

Based in Fort Worth, Texas, the National Cutting Horse Association is globally influential with members around the world. The NCHA governs the sport sanctioning over 1,800 events annually with over $36,000,000 in prize money. The organization’s premier events include the NCHA Triple Crown, the NCHA Mercuria World Finals, and the NCHA Youth World Finals events held in Fort Worth TX. The Mercuria World Series of Cutting is held at eight (8) locations throughout North America. Locations include South Point Casino in Las Vegas, Calgary Stampede, Houston Livestock Show & Ohio Quarter Horse Congress, as well as three NCHA National events in Jackson, MI; Scottsdale, AZ; and Denver, CO.
